Sky Daniels, 88.5 FM Co-General Manager and Program Director, made the appointment by saying, “As 88.5 FM continues its rapid growth, I knew my responsibilities as GM and Program Director would intensify. Looking for my replacement on-air required finding someone with passion, great knowledge of the Triple-A format, and relentless drive. Andy has been a stalwart at Los Angeles music discovery stations such as 100.3 The Sound, KACD Channel 103.1, and Y107 (KLYY). He understands, and welcomes, the challenge of providing a deeper musical experience to listeners.”

“Years ago, I added my name to the list of Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and countless others who’ve realized that Sky is doing something truly special at 88.5 FM,” Chanley commented. “Now, I get to add my name to the tremendous staff he’s put together here. I’m overjoyed; and this station sounds so good. Don’t tell Sky, but I’d do this for free…if free bought pull-ups.” Check out Andy’s video message here.
